I haven’t written anything in my blog for months, partly through a lack of inspiration, partly through being incredible busy, and partly just down to who I am as a person. More recently I’ve had plenty of inspiration and time to write but I’ve still been putting it off, finding other things to do instead. … More Procrastination and Perfectionism
Last year I got very very good at writing my blog every single week, though admittedly it did tail off towards the end of the year. This year, finding the time and motivation to actually sit down and write my blog has become much much harder. Take this week for example, I’m a day late … More This Was So Much Easier When I Was Lonely
This week I really didn’t want to write a blog post. I have zero motivation, no ideas that aren’t just “climate change is real, we’re killing the planet, and people are trash,” and nothing that I’d already pre-written (at least not that I want to post on my Sunday blog post). Really all I wanted … More Do I Have To?
The Gingerbread Men. The smell of gingerbread men baking had always reminded her of christmas. Ever since she could remember she would spend christmas eve at her grandparents and she would always spend the afternoon with her grandma, baking and decorating dozens of gingerbread men (and occasionally sneaking one or two whenever her grandma wasn’t … More An Advent Of Writing – Day 3

It watched, from it’s it’s vantage point on the tree, a baby more interested in the crinkly wrapping paper and the sparkly lights. It watched … More An Advent Of Writing – Day 2
Today I had a plan for my blog, I had it half written out within my notebook, and was prepared to type it up when I got home from work. Until I opened my rucksack on the train to realise that I’d left my notebook and my pen at work. I didn’t have the blog … More An Advent Of Writing – Day 1
I’ve already missed two weeks of my blog in a row and I really need to actually get back in to my writing again. I was doing so well for my blog so far this year as well. One of the biggest issues I’ve had for my blog recently is a pretty bad case of … More Writing When The Words Don’t Work
It’s a Sunday, and Sunday is a blog post day. Given that I’ve only missed one Sunday post this whole year I’m pretty proud of myself. I’m well on the way to actually achieving this years New Year’s Resolution. However, once again this Sunday has snuck up on me. Honestly you think it’d be less … More The Way I Write Vs. The Way I Probably Should Write
I’ve always loved to read. Ever since I was a little kid I could often be found curled up with my nose in a book. I would read anything I could get my hands on, and I’m not even exaggerating there, I remember being about 8 and reading
I like to think of myself as a writer, at least that’s how I’d describe myself if someone asked. I also like to take a lot of photographs, usually when I’m on holiday (or of birds), however I wouldn’t exactly describe myself as a photographer. On my last holiday I took a lot of photos, … More Once More, With Feeling
